V'ISE FOR HOLIING VEHICLE-LAMPS.

Specification o Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 6

To all whomc't may concern-.-

Be it known that I, ELMER V. Canister ANA,-a citizen of the UnitedStates, a resident of Kingston, in the county of Ulster and State or"New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Vises for HoldingVehicle-Lumps, of which the :t'ollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to brackets or Vises for holding automobile andcarriage lamps While being polished or repaired.

The object of my invention is to produce a bracket of said characterwhich may be adjusted toaccommodate lamps of different types and sizes,and by Which-same may be held in different positions for the-convenienceof the Workman.

A further object thereof is to more simple, cheap and efficient ticlc 0said class than has heretofore been provided.

To these ends, my invention includes the combinations and arrangement ofcomponent parts to be hereinafter described and more particularlypointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention in which likereference characters indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a perspectiveView of my invention in use; Ihig. 2 isa similar view with the lumpdetached, and Fig. 3 is a plan View of the same.

Referring to, the drawings, 1 indicates a base, preferably of metalrigidly secured upon a Work bench or other support, and provided withthe Vertical screw-threaded studQ. Mounted upon said stud, I provide thediametrically opposed bowed brackets or arms 3 and 4, and the lateralarm secured thereon by the thumb-nut 6. Said arms 3 and 4, as shown,comprise he horizontal portions 3 and P. the upright bowed portions 3and l, and terminate in the heads 3 and 4 which are pierced transverselyto accommodate the hooks '2 and 8 hereinafter described. The horizontalpor tion 3 and 4 of said arms are provided with longitudinal slots 3 and46 through which the threaded stud 2 projects and on which they areclamped by the out 6. From such construction it will be apparent that lI I l l I v '1 Med int'he c i 1i is adjusted positions,

extending inwardly toward each other to en age the orifices providedonlamps by wh'ch same are secured on a vehicle. It will also beappreciated that a lamp secured on said hooks Will be suspended betweenthe bowed upright portions of the bracket or arms and t in whichposition it is con-- veniently held for a Workman, and that said hooksmay be turned in their sockets to ad just the position of the lamp andsecurely held by the nuts 9 and 10.

The lateral arm 5 is rigidly secured on the l, and is provided at itsouter end with s. ertical threaded stud 11 on which are pivoted thehooks l2 and 13 through the orifices in their lower ends, and clampedthereon by the nut 14. Said hooks 12 and 13 are dspted to engage andhold the smaller o toil lamps of a vehicle, and

be adjusted to different sizes by turning on their pivot and securelyclamped by the nut 14.

laying thus described my invention, What- I claim new and desire securedby Letters Patent, is-- The combination with a. base, of laterallyadjustable oppositely arranged arms n1ount ed thereon comprisinghorizontal portions having upwardly portions pro vided With enlargedtransversely pierced outer ends, L-shuped brackets carier outer ends ofthe arms thei end: ich are adapted to be rotated in a vertical plane, a;0 means for clamping the brackets in lixe gust luoiii/ on the arms tosupport lamp ' sly as de Witnesses
